Canton Woman Sentenced For Running Over Husband: Prosecutor

CANTON MI, — A Canton woman has been sentenced for running over her ex-husband in a parking lot last year, according to prosecutors.

Alaina Fain, 39, was given 18 months of probation by a Macomb County Circuit Court judge, according to prosecutors.

In addition, Fain must complete a mental health assessment and a batterer’s intervention program. She also cannot possess any weapons and cannot be within 500 feet of her ex-husband.

Last month, Fain pleaded no contest to assault with a dangerous weapon (felonious assault) and domestic violence. She faced up to four years in prison for the assault with a dangerous weapon charge.

Prosecutors said the incident happened on June 13 in a Warren parking lot where she drove over her then-husband with her SUV.

Prosecutors did not release any other details about that incident.

"It is important to remember that sentencing ultimately rests in the hands of the court. In this case, the judge exercised that authority by ordering probation, a mental health assessment, and participation in a batterer’s intervention program, measures designed not only to hold the offender accountable, but to provide a pathway toward rehabilitation and avoid recidivism," Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido said.
